The Johns Hopkins Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality has entered into an agreement with a Hawaii health system to improve patient safety and care at hospitals in the state.
Hopkins and The Queen's Health Systems in Honolulu will evaluate safety programs at several hospitals, then use strategies proven by the Armstrong Institute to make them better. The two institutions kicked off the initiative Tuesday.
Plans also call to develop a patient safety quality institute to be located at The Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu.
Under the terms of the agreement, both parties will contribute personnel and infrastructure. Financial terms were not disclosed.
